At the end of a successful weekend, my camera roll is full of videos. Videos of friends eating pancakes, videos of dogs waiting outside cafes, videos of vintage finds I can't afford, etc., etc. But those cherished little moments never see the light of day—because what am I going to do, spam my friend's feeds with a million short films?

Clips lets you take photos and record video and then combine them with music to create a customized movie in minutes. You can pull tracks from your own iTunes, or choose from a library of ready-to-use songs created by Apple—including a score by legendary composer Hans Zimmer (of The Dark Knight fame). Layer comic book-inspired filters, animated posters, your favorite emojis, and speech bubbles to your film, then share them directly from the app to whichever platform you like best.

Just shoot, speak, and watch the words pop up on the screen in real time to create your very own subtitles. Simple, yet incredibly mesmerizing. The time limit is capped at 30 minutes of footage per movie—so let's get cutting.
